Võ Trung Nhân

Võ Trung Nhân (died 1 January 1968) was a South Vietnamese civilian who lived in a village in Tay Ninh Province along the Cambodian border. He was born with physical deformities, having only one eye and one leg; he was also simple-minded. On 1 January 1968, the US Army came into the village to search for Viet Cong, and Private Chris Taylor found Vo and his mother Phan Minh Châu hiding in their hut. Taylor angrily shouted at Nhan, who was simple-mindedly smiling at him despite his taunts, and Taylor angrily began to shoot around his feet to force him to hop. Taylor then felt guilty when he saw the mother cry, but another soldier, Bunny Jones, grew angry at Nhan for smiling, saying that he was probably happy that their soldiers Sal Italiano and Sandy Mitchum had been killed. He then used the butt of his rifle to bash Nhan in the face and club his head twice, killing him and disfiguring his face.
